But as managing editor of the fact-checking site Snopes, Brooke Binkowski believes Facebook’s perpetuation of phony news is not to blame for our epidemic of misinformation. “It’s not social media that’s the problem,” she says emphatically. “People are looking for somebody to pick on. The alt-rights have been empowered and that’s not going to go away anytime soon. But they also have always been around.”

1. Bernie’s proposals would cost less than what we’d spend without them. Most of the cost the Journal comes up with—$15 trillion—would pay for opening Medicare to everyone. This would be cheaper than relying on our current system of for-profit private health insurers that charge you and me huge administrative costs, advertising, marketing, bloated executive salaries, and high pharmaceutical prices. (Gerald Friedman, an economist at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, estimates a Medicare-for-all system would actually save all of us $10 trillion over 10 years).
2. The savings from Medicare-for-all would more than cover the costs of the rest of Bernie’s agenda—tuition-free education at public colleges, expanded Social Security benefits, improved infrastructure, and a fund to help cover paid family leave – and still leave us $2 trillion to cut federal deficits for the next ten years.
3. Many of these other costs would also otherwise be paid by individuals and families -- for example, in college tuition and private insurance. So they shouldn't be considered added costs for the country as a whole, and may well save us money.
4. Finally, Bernie’s proposed spending on education and infrastructure aren’t really spending at all, but investments in the nation’s future productivity. If we don’t make them, we’re all poorer.

Brad Garrett did a miserable job being the expert on this piece. He just winged it - pumped some words out of his mouth without knowing a damn thing.

My comments rebut what Garret says at 3:00: I could guess reason that The City of SF has this ordinance to not cooperate with ICE is that the they have people in the community who work for a living and raise kids - people worth keeping as neighbors, not this serial felon who is now a murderer. The SFPD has a spotty reputation with its citizens as it is. Getting people to co-operate with law enforcement is is key to having effective law enforcement. If an undocumented immigrant can't trust people with a badge in the USA, they will avoid cops at all costs. Think this through: who do you want off of the street more?

1. the junkie who has a gun and holds up convenience stores
2. the psychopathic gang banger who doesn't feel alive unless s/he is taking someone else's life
3. the methamphetamine dealer
4. The junkie who breaks in to and strips cars
5. The undocumented immigrant who works 2 jobs to raise 2 kids
6. the gangbanger/pimp who is looking for neglected teenage girls to traffic in to prostitution

It's the lesser of these evils (that is number 5 for those who need to be spoon fed the answer) that police chose in San Francisco and other municipalities by turning their back on ICE. ICE is about deporting people: it does not matter if it ruins stable families in the process. ICE puts parents and kids in danger of being homeless. ICE traumatizes children, leaving them with psychological scars that don't heal. It's your sloth and tax money at work, America.

The USA has neglected it's immigration system - a system that does not work for asipiring immigrants - ever since this current system was signed in to law by Lyndon Baines Johnson about 5 decades ago. Due to that, municipalities now have residents who aren't documented.

GMA could have gotten any pro-immigrant immigration activist or attorney to explain that after the package about the murder. Instead, ABC has this guy on retainer who has a lot of experience with law enforcement to be a talking head but all he knows about immigrants is that an immigrant was the busboy who cleared his table after dinner last night.

Garrett's expertise does nothing to inform viewers; his bravado only makes Donald Trump's absurd and odious claims about immigrants seem rational. Don't conflate violent crime with violation of immigration laws, ABC; it's sloppy and bigoted to do so.

Lemon’s mock-worthy hit parade started as he described the scene on the streets immediately following the announcement that a Darren Wilson indictment would not be handed down: “We heard a gunshot and people started scattering. We’re watching people, they’re on top of the roofs of cars, the tops of cars. And obviously, there’s a smell of marijuana in the air as well.”

Oh, obviously. It’s that one word — obviously — that so handily encapsulates Don Lemon’s inappropriate magic. Supercilious when he should be grave, ridiculous when he should be dignified, self-important when he should be reflective, Don Lemon still hasn’t mastered the art of not making a live report all about him. After that point, Lemon could have been hit in the face by a beanbag round on camera, and people would have laughed, then memed.
